Accused killer Jared Remy, 35, of Waltham, has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon stemming from a fight inside jail, according to the Middlesex Sheriff's Office.

Remy, awaiting trial on murder charges linked to the brutal stabbing of his girlfriend Jennifer Martel, is alleged to have assaulted a fellow pre-trial detainee at the Middlesex Jail in Cambridge on Thursday.

Following the incident, Remy was moved to a separate area of the facility where he has no contact with other detainees, according to the sheriff's office.

Remy is expected to be arraigned in the new case on April 24 in Cambridge District Court.

Remy, the son of Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy, is accused of killing Martel at their Waltham apartment on Aug. 15, 2013. He has pleaded not guilty.
